Hograost 20077, hmmm, a bit quiet at first …
At first there were few …
After wrestling with the wind to erect the awning, Chez Whatton opened for business …
Soon to be joined by visitors from the other side of Offa’s Dyke …
But by evening there were quite a few assembled …
Dinner was served …
Followed by sugary sweet things …
Which soon had the children sugar-rushing …
A beautiful Saturday Morning and the riders prepared for the ride-outs
Some had mucky designs on the day
Pumpy popped down for the day on one of the rides and came by to say hi
Vendors of innovations
Saturday evening, the main event, one of the Andover two …
(I ate your father!)
Tossers descend on the hapless beast
Wizard is concerned it might all be eaten before he gets there
Which is a serious possibility as Shep tries to figure out of he can get the whole pig into a single bap.
No … but you can get the whole bap into one pig
Not that Mutley and BTBR give a toss, ‘cos they’ve already got theirs
Show us yer buns!
Bakerman in charge
Clive shows Maria his splinter (at least that’s what I think he said … “see there’s a small prick in my hand”)
Drink problem Bill? … “So, what’s your point?”
Whatever they ploy was it obviously didn’t fool Maria, so Clive tries his hand (the same one) wiv da yoof…
Steptoes attempt at a smutty hand joke has clearly gone too far
But there’s always one isn’t there?
The last known photograph of Clive … perhaps sometime after we’d shared a smoke
Swoon …
Whatton and Dave
I soooo looked forward to posting this …
Bit of sit down for the old folk …
Scott risks English beer (he also risks working in Basingstoke, so he’s clearly not to be messed with!)
While the band played on
Until Bakerman decided to put a stop to such merriment and have a waffle … erm … I mean raffle
Obviously a winner, are you going to show us what’s in the box Bill?
Fearing all out rebellion from the highly agitated on lookers
Dancing is resumed
Woody races in to wipe up …
Don’t shoot!
Bakerman gets all ‘rawhide’ and Fanum decides he must get into every picture
Bloody hell he’s doing it again
Woody’s obviously had enough of Bill’ attention seeking behaviour and gets stuck in
“… and stay down!”
David makes sure Mutley knows this sort of thing is just not acceptable in a social democracy
While Woody receives a stern telling off from his niece. He tries to make out that’s it’s not actually him at all, by pretending to comb his missing hair
Despite the requests for political correctness and the bollocking Woody got for it, Mrs Steptoe and Mrs Whatton decide they want to be in a picture too.
Which quite made Bakermans night … erm … and Woody’s niece seems to have forgiven him
Time for bed …
